The ghazal
O thou , of whose street , only a tale is the tale of paradise
And of whose face , only a sign is the description of the beauty of the Hur . *** From thy ruby lip , only a jest is the life - giving breathing of 'Isa
And , from , thy sweet mouth , only a sign is the water of life . *** Together are every fragment of my heart and a tale of grief
Together are every line of thy qualities , and a verse of mercy . *** 'Itr - diffuser of the assembly of souls , when would it the rose have been ,
If , to the rose , thy perfume , thou hadst not entrusted *** In desire of the dust of the Friend's path , I consumed ,
O morning breeze bring to mind that even a little protection thou gavest not . *** If , in the fire , appear the form of thy lovely face
Saki come and give wine for even of hell , no complaint then is mine . *** Took the horizons of the world the perfume of my roasted grief - stricken heart
This consuming of my heart , into the beloved's heart may penetrate . *** O heart in absurd knowledge thou wast and from the hand , life passed
A hundred sources of capital thou hadst and a sufficiency , thou madest not . *** From this lesson of grief , Hafiz's desire , what it is , thou knowest
From thee O murshid a glance of kindness and from the Khusrau God the bounty of pardon ***
